St. Louis-based RubinBrown LLP (FY23 net revenue of $196 million) has established RubinBrown Corporate Finance LLC, a new wholly owned investment banking entity.
“RubinBrown Corporate Finance LLC will allow us to continue to serve as our clients’ trusted advisors and ultimately assist in achieving their vision for the business, whether that’s a liquidity event or executing a growth strategy,” says RubinBrown LLP chairman John Herber.
Led by CEO and managing director Ben Barnes alongside managing director Bill Conway, RubinBrown Corporate Finance LLC will offer a range of traditional investment banking services – including strategic advisory services related to growth or liquidity, M&A, divestitures, private capital-raising and valuation – to new and existing clients throughout the U.S., such as family-owned businesses, corporations, institutional investors and private equity firms.
“Our goal is to serve our clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their business,” says Barnes. “We are a client-focused investment bank, meaning our goal is to always serve our clients’ best interests, not our own. We are focused on helping our clients monetize their life’s work.”
